Hyde is a London Royal Park which Henry VIII acquired in 1536 (it had been owned by the monks of Westminster Abbey before that). A large area of open space in the city centre of 630 acres and a perimeter of 4 miles. It has the memorials at Marble Arch at the east side and Kensington palace at the west. Also within its environs is the Albert Memorial, Queen Victoria's monument to her husband.

|  | London My first visit to this city was in 2002 when I was on a Europe tour and we decided to extend our stay in London for 2 more weeks and travel to Scotland.
My second trip here was in 2004 and in 2005 I am here again. Its becoming a yearly ritual to come to London for shopping!. |
| Harrods & The Red Busses- you gotta love it. |
| | Shopping What can I say ...I simply felt in love with this city! I love the shopping, food and meeting my friends.
Shopping can be expensive here but I simply love it. I mostly go to Oxford or Bond street for shopping. |

Nice tips of London. I agree about packing an umbrella. It always look it was going to rain when I was there. SL :) | doreenellen Fri Aug 4, 2006 08:40 UTC
We saw the Diane fountain, that would be lovely to paddle in, in the recent hot weather - Good page | scottishvisitor Thu Jul 27, 2006 08:09 UTC
